Thanks again for sticking with this issue.</p> <p>Steve C.<br /> 3Cstudio </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/paypal-payflo-vs-pro-integration#post-144943 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 23:51:52 +0000 Chris Hajer 144943@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Anyone with access to the database or the WordPress admin would have access to the credit card details, if they're stored in the database. You'd have to ensure that access is secure from unauthorized people and make sure no credit card details are sent in the notification emails, and ensure the admin is using SSL as well.</p> <p>There are a whole slough of requirements from the credit card industry when storing credit card information.

I'll report back when I get some answers (if any) out of Paypal. :-/ Their customer service/support hasn't been the most helpful, and judging from forums, I'm certainly not alone in that take! Thanks. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/paypal-payflo-vs-pro-integration#post-144041 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 06:57:49 +0000 Chris Hajer 144041@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'm not 100% sure of what setting that might be in PayPal. I thought it was related to the "Don't prompt user to include a shipping address" setting in Gravity Forms, but that had no effect. I learned all I posted about the issue by searching Google. Maybe a call or contact to PayPal is in order? PayPal does a lot of things automatically and seemingly unrelated settings have an effect in unexpected places. If you do find it, please post here again. Good luck. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/paypal-payflo-vs-pro-integration#post-143426 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 12:31:47 +0000 3cstudio 143426@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Interesting. So, basically there is a setting (or settings) within the Paypal account itself that are barring the form from auto-filling the various fields requested in the payment form? If so, any idea what/where, or is Paypal just one of those areas that I will need to hunt-n-peck my way around (and look through a bunch of their developers' info site) to see if I can find a fix? Either way, thanks for all the input and direction -- this is working out better than things originally looked. :)</p> <p>Thanks again,</p> <p>Steve C.<br /> 3Cstudio </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/paypal-payflo-vs-pro-integration#post-143282 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 08:40:06 +0000 Chris Hajer 143282@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I did a couple tests on my server. I made sure I used a browser which had never logged in to PayPal, and used a fake email address so there was no PayPal account associated. When I filled out my form, I filled out address information. When I submitted the form, I landed at PayPal and the address information was pre-filled and I was in the section "Create a PayPal account". There was a link to "Pay with my PayPal account as well" but I did not select that.</p> <p>It looks like our PayPal accounts may be configured differently. Assuming you mapped all the form fields to the PayPal fields correctly, I don't think there is anything on the Gravity Forms side that can be affecting this. Take a look at the screenshots. These were both with a Chrome Incognito session and an unregistered-with-PayPal email address. These are the PayPal pages I landed at. The transaction on my site carried over the address information fine. The transaction on your site did not.</p> <p>Mine: <a href="http://minus.com/lo5wqoKjWBec2" rel="nofollow">http://minus.com/lo5wqoKjWBec2</a><br /> Yours: <a href="http://minus.com/lfpxSm8U9beUU" rel="nofollow">http://minus.com/lfpxSm8U9beUU</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/paypal-payflo-vs-pro-integration#post-142717 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 15:58:28 +0000 3cstudio 142717@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Sure thing -- it's at: <a href="http://myflowerland.com/shop/valentines-day-floral-deliveries/" rel="nofollow">http://myflowerland.com/shop/valentines-day-floral-deliveries/</a> -- when I get to the checkout fields, those 3 are the only ones filled.</p> <p>If you wish to examine the form setup itself, I can send you login access -- I think you did that for me in the past... let me know if that is more efficient.</p> <p>Thanks Chris,</p> <p>Steve C.<br /> 3Cstudio </p>
